This weeks theme is Music
I know my wife has talked about our elderly neighbor, Sofie, on a few of her sites. She calls Sofie her stalker because she follows my wife around whenever she’s outside and even stares at her from her windows.
She’s a cool lady though. She’s Macedonian and likes to pretend she doesn’t understand English very well, but she does … oh she does.
Anyway … one day I was in my backyard playing guitar and I got an idea for a photo. I ran back in the house and got one of my other guitars and coaxed Sofie into holding it. It does look like we are playing music, doesn’t it?
Her kids and grandkids just love this photo.

A trial is going on right now in Tokyo involving a 70 year old Japanese woman. What did she do? She bombarded a 79 year old man with over 200 love letters, repeatedly cleaned his family tombstone and broke a stalking ban.
The woman had forced her way into the mans home seven times between July and October last year despite a court order to stay away. This woman didn’t take no for an answer it seems. The woman sent 206 love letters and cleaned the mans family grave site 85 times!
When she was ordered to stay away from the man by the court she demanded 1.25 million yen ($10,300) from him for the amount she’d paid in order to get a drivers license to travel back and forth to his home and for gas costs.
Later she sent threatening letters to the man saying “if it comes down to it, you could die”.
Prosecutors are seeking a 10 month jail sentence since they think that there’s a high chance that the defendant could commit another offense. No kidding!

According to police in Corapolis Pa, and elderly woman gave a bank robber a lift, unbeknownst to her at the time of course. Juanita Bland, 75, had been stopped at a post office in Coraopolis just before noon, two weeks ago, when suddenly the sliding door of her minivan became stuck. Her van is equipped with an electric door and ramp for her wheelchair.
“I couldn’t get out of the van, so I waited a few moments hoping somebody would walk by who might be able to help,” said Bland. “Then I saw this fellow walking my way, so I beckoned him over and asked if he could please help with the door.”
According to the police the man that Juanita beckoned over had just robbed a PNC Bank. The man got into the passenger seat asking for a ride after he slid the stuck sliding door closed.
“He didn’t seem threatening or anything, so I said ‘OK’ and drove off,” she said. He exited a few blocks later, got into a white sedan and drove off.
One of Bland’s friends called her later that day wondering if she’d been abducted because another one of the ladies acquaintances had been listening to the police scanner and had heard that the suspect had gotten into her van.
“When I think back now of what could have happened, I feel blessed that I’m OK,” Bland said.
She sure is lucky. It’s probably a good thing that she didn’t suspect anything otherwise things might have turned out very differently.
